Our principles

Knoma pays our partners upfront, this means we assume the risk associated with lending.

We're an ethical lender, and it's important to us that we only lend to people we think a loan is right for. So we won't lend money to someone unless we are confident they can pay us back for their course without getting into financial trouble.
